Education Secretary Sonny Angara expressed optimism on Sunday that President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. would address the P12-billion reduction in the Department of Education's 2025 budget .In an Instagram post, Angara emphasized the importance of prioritizing education funding.“In past years, Congress has increased the President’s proposed budget for DepEd and education. For whatever reason, nakakalungkot na hindi ito mauulit sa 2025 budget ,” he said.
Salary increasesWhile the 2025 DepEd budget is higher than in 2024, Angara noted that the increase falls short of addressing personnel needs, such as hiring new teachers and implementing salary adjustments under the Salary Standardization Law.“Tapos ‘yung sinasabi na tumaas pa din ang agency budget vs last year– kulang pa para sa personnel services lang ‘yung pag hire ng bagong teachers and personnel para ma-meet ang desired ratios and personnel goals at para sa SSL increases,” he explained.
